ABOUT THE 413’S:
Born from the Pioneer Valley spirit, The 413’s derive their name from The 413 area code. Since their first gig at Luthiers Co-op in December 2021, they’ve matured from high school garage jammers into a full-fledged rock trio with serious momentum, carving out a distinctive space in the New England Music scene.
A dynamic rock band based in hills of western MA, the group originally began as a trio, with Dylan Nicolle on guitar and brothers Daniel (lead singer and bassist) and Liam McKellick (drummer), all hailing from Montgomery, MA. The band later expanded to include Julian Greve on vocals, rounding out their electric current line-up.
The 413s are celebrated for their modern take on rock and roll, blending classic influences with contemporary sounds. Their set lists include covers of legendary acts like Dire Straits and Harry Styles, showcasing both their versatility and respect for rock’s rich history, plus originals like “Tomorrow,” “Overtime Girl,” “Miss Americana,” and “Catfish Woman”. Billed as the hottest new rock-n-roll band coming out of The 413, the band engages the audience with energy, passion, professionalism and lots of fun!
